Greetings to all! I apologize it has been a while since I updated, however it has been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. I was pleased to be invited to Divine Child High School in Dearborn to speak to the 12th grade Government and Economics class about unions. I had some pretty tough but very thoughtful questions from the group and it was a very interesting and great time! This is something that I have been wanting to start for some time, and I look forward to traveling to other schools to speak to students about the importance of labor. I also attended the Keep it made in America Rally in Dearborn. it was a good turnout as the front of City hall was full. It was also good to listen to Lansing Mayor Virg Benero, Mayor O'Reilly Bob Ficano, Rory Gamble and Steelworkers President Leo Girard. The Rev. Jesse Jackson also spoke. I will be bringing more information to the Retirees and Members about this aggressive campaign. Most notably the Rally that will occur in Lansing on the Capitol steps on June 1, 2009! Plan on attending. Cedar Point tickets are here and we will have tickets for June 29 to July 5 as well as the week after the Ford shutdown which is July 6 to July 13, 2009. We are sharing tickets this year with Local 931 and that will enable us to offer the second week! Tickets are an incredibly low $21.00!! They will be available after Wednesday! Until next time...
